Synopsis

Discover how climate, diet, and clean water shape health—and what a mountain resort can teach medicine today.

This nonfiction collection introduces a monthly journal dedicated to the study of climate, mineral springs, diet, preventive medicine, and sanitary science. It explains how climate, soil, occupation, race, and other factors relate to disease and health, aiming to inform both doctors and the public about prevention and care.

The issue highlights a practical look at health resorts, with a case study of Bethlehem and Maplewood in the White Mountains. It discusses how water supply and drainage improvements reduced disease risk, and how climate and landscape influence well‑being. You’ll also see how meteorological observations and early public health thinking are used to describe safer, healthier places to live and visit.
  • Foundations of climatology in medicine and public health

  • Case study of a health resort and its climate, soil, and scenery
